I'm treading a line here, and those of you who know me, know that I'm not one to cause any type of controversay but I really need some help here. This may be a long post.... so please bear with me and thank you in advance to anyone who responds.
First off, I'm extremely open minded, I have no issues with people's beliefs etc, unless of course they start questioning mine and expecting me to agree that theirs is the tried and true way and only way. I have had a situation arise in the last week in regards to my daughter and I'm not clear on how to handle this, I've done some surfing, I'm reading but I'm still not clear based upon my, well for lack of a better description, lack of understanding?
My ex has a new girlfriend. She has told my daughter she is a practicing Witch. I was raised christian/catholic (split based upon my parents), I believe in a God, but I do not believe in organized religion, so I'm agnostic. I have educated my daughter with my beliefs and my former upbringing and she has attended church on occasion with my dad, and some of her family members. Mind you, her dad, was a practicing CHristian at one point. This girl, has explained to my daughter about spells, the guilds, etc. however, she states she believes in God. So of course, I'm going off of what I remember being taught and wondering how one can say one thing and then say a something different? I feel this new girlfriend, whom I have not met yet, has crossed a line (funny how he picks women who have no respect for the mother/child line)... anyways, I don't know what everyone's beliefs are on this board, but I'm confused, and this girl has now told my daughter she can do just about anything if she is a believer in the craft. So, with that said, I'm a bit upset. I don't know how to explain or educate my daughter when I don't understand myself.
So, with all of this in mind, please keep this post uncontroversial and post only if you have insight on this belief or any ideas as to how to explain this to a 10 year old. The last thing I want is a "political poo" where every one hashes shit out, that's not the point to my post. Everythign I have read makes absolutely NO sense to me.
Thank you.
G.
